| Learning outcomes |
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint and teach doctoral students the methodological procedures for evaluating genetically determined production and reproductive traits of livestock, the principles of marker-assisted selection and the use of genetic parameters in the process of breeding livestock.
The student can independently navigate in the given issue and is able to use the acquired knowledge in their scientific activities or other practice. |
| Prerequisites |
|
The student is familiar with the issues within the scope of university studies and is willing to study independently.
